Assassination Records Review Board
Final Determination Notification

AGENCY : HSCA
RECORD NUMBER : 180-10068-10346
RECORD SERIES : STAFF PAYROLL RECORDS
AGENCY FILE NUMBER :

December 8, 1995
Status of Document: Postponed in Part

Number of releases of previously postponed information: 15

Reason for Board Action: The Review Board's decision was premised on several factors
including: (a) the significant historical interest in the document in question; (b) the
absence of evidence that the release of the information would cause harm to the United
States or to any individual.

Number of Postponements: 4

Postponements: All the postponements in this document represent Social Security numbers.

Reason for Board Action: The text is redacted because the public disclosure of the redaction could
reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, and that invasion of

_privacy would be so substantial that it outweighs the public interest.

Substitute Language: SSN

Dear Toms

Here, without further delay or adue, is ny repayment of the overpayment.
You will note that it is made out to the U.S. Treasury or the Committee. This is
due to the fact that I never recieved your note of September 15, so I was not
sure who this was to be made out to. You may instruct those fine fellows at the
Payroll Department, however, that I had an exquisitely ‘fine time with my unexpected

 Imanna from bureaucratic heaven'.

‘Also, I wish you would advise Donovan to advise Blakey's office that I am
still waiting breathlessly for their letter of recommendation. Please tell him

(them) that-I will not be able to obtain credit for my arduous labors of the summer
until. T recieve some sort of recommendation.

‘Thus, with all the sincerety due the occasion, I am,

eee
John J. Farmer, Jre

Pede Say hello ‘to Kevin Walsh and Edwin Lopez for me. ‘fell Edwin that I am now
a ‘Lifetime member of the "Reggie Jackson for Messiah" fan club.

payment, they will adjust various withholdings, that were made

from your salary.

Accordingly, the amount of the check that you send to

us should be $199. 38 instead of $220.00.
